aight, this has been field tested a gazillion times.


hold the door open for everyone, always, like you were ALREADY going to do anyways *hint hint*

wait for the inevitable "thank you"

then say "my pleasure" this is the perfect line, (btw I created this response all by myself)

if she calls you out saying thats the standard chick-fil-a reply you have just successfully opened her (talk about how much you like their food or something, I usually talk about how cute the cow is then quickly transition) while demonstrating that you are the most chivalrous dudes around.

if she says nothing then you just demonstrated your a total badass to everyone else cuz she's got friends and shes ganna be talkin. and if she doesn't who gives a fuck all ya did was open the door for her and say my pleasure.

I'm going to assume this is not a joke.

This doesn't come off as complete supplication to you? Because to me, it looks an awful lot like supplication. Let's break this down.

You're holding the door open for everyone. I guess that's alright, and it shows you have manners, but it's hardly proving you're a "badass." In fact, it's painting you a boy scout. Which is fine, if that's the vibe you're going for.

The reply "My pleasure" was not invented by you, and has been used by men while holding doors open for women since "My pleasure" first replaced "Thank you." It's stock, and thus below the notice of most women. At least, it is for the ones I open doors for (which I do because I have manners, not because I'm a badass).

If she calls you out for holding a door open, I'd bust her balls. If she says nothing, I'd bust her balls. Either way, I'd suggest she should hold it open for me next time. After all, I'm high maintenance.

If everyone sees you open the door, you will blow yourself out for every woman who does not want a boy scout. There are a lot of them. In fact, they greatly outnumber the women looking for boy scouts, and tend to be less-than-tens.

That's just the impression I got from the post. I may be missing some secret badassery here. It _is_ four in the morning and I'm quite tired.

How is what you said badass?
Aside from trying to work this out, a note on things like holding open a door:
If i am by the door, i will open it for her.
If she is about to get in the car, and i am near the door, i will open it.

If you happen to be in the right place at the right time to do something like this its not AFC to be a gentleman. Just dont go out of your way to do it (like as you get out the car run around to try and beat her to opening it.)

1.) Badass was a joke. (there is plenty of time to prove your badassness after opening)

2. Do not walk across the room to open the door or even go out of your way hardly at all.

3.) It did not come to my attention before I posted this last night that opening the door is actually a very cultural thing. I'm in the south so here it would be a DLV not to hold the door open for everyone.

4.) If your not currently located in an area that opening the door is culturally mandatory you would have to posses the body language of a very confident alpha male as if ushering everyone inside.

5.) This line could actually be used for anything where they say 'thank you'.

6.) like I said I've used this a gazillion times and each and everyone of those times they are always shocked by my courteous reply or ask about chick fil a.

7.) My pleasure is not stock for everyone, or anyone for that matter, sorry.

There was a time once when I opened the door for someone and she said thank you and then..... nothing happened.

Hey, maybe it's the way you say "My pleasure." Maybe you sport a grin face on. Maybe it's the cologne?
